Hey! I'm Jess, and I'm a 25 year old papercraft nut from Newcastle, New South Wales (3hrs north of Sydney.) I live with my best friend and our two beautiful fur babies, cats Tommy and Toby.

I come from a very artistic family with my maternal grandparents both working as commercial artists, back in the day. Since I was a child, my mum has tried to get me interested in a crafty hobby, and up until 5years ago, I had very little interest in anything crafty or hands on. Then I discovered Scrapbooking, and quickly moved onto making cards. I love making cards as I tend to find the bigger canvas size of a 12x12 scrapbook page can be quite daunting.

Hi! My name is Jessica! I am 27yrs old and I live in country Victoria with my husband (and best friend) John. We have 3 beautiful girls, Aimee 7yrs Charlotte 3yrs and Ella 18months old who keep me rather busy. We also have a collection of chooks, ducks, goats, a cat Lucy, a black lab named Maggie, and the newest addition is a turtle named 'poppy'.

I started scrapbooking when Aimee was born in 2004 but over the years I turned to cardmaking as its quicker and a smaller canvas to work on... plus with 3 busy girls I dont have as much spare time as I used to! I love all the new products constantly coming onto the market... sadly there is too much to collect it all!

I'm a quirky 25 year old with a stamp addiction. I have been crafting for about 2 and a half years now. I enjoy learning and trying new crafts and techniques, not to mention supplies! I love animals, photography and making new friends. I hope you like my creations and that this challenge inspires you to create and share yourself on blogworld! I've found it a wonderful community to belong and cherish the friends I have made through blogging and crafting!My Cards reflect my personality, bright, quirky and a lot of fun! Here is a sample-

My name is Michelle (aka whirligig), I am married and have 4 kids under the age of 9. I enjoy all types of crafting and I always seem to have several projects on the go at once. I am relatively new to the paper craft world as I have been card making for about 7 months. I was introduced to cards (by our delightful friend Jessica T) in August 2011 when I was invited to a card making night. I have been addicted ever since. I decided to try my hand at Scrapbooking about a month ago and really love creating special pages for my little darlings. I love the idea of recording memories in this way. I love having ink stains on my fingers and use plenty of pretty sparkly items, glitter and pearls. I am always on the look out for beautiful ribbons and I love twine. The die cutting and embossing machine (Big Shot- which I call my "Whirligig" hence the name) is one of my favourite pieces of equipment (along with my stamps).

I love trying new techniques and layouts, and love looking for new colour combinations.
